not believe the bzil 10 be reliable, ior
reAsops which Cannot he expiainef
through newspaper. He did DOT ash
to send the bul, back, but thought we
ought 10 make It right with him." q
term which is used by purchasers when
they wish us TO throw something of IN
settlement, This complaint was made
to our clerk and probaptly reported 70

on account Of his re agous being unsatis-

mote then about due for the bull, re
marking In the presence OF rslta oil
witnesses that he was now perfeesi!
satisfied, and thus, as far az we wer
